Tropical Storm "Seniang" (Jangmi) leaves a trail of destruction, Philippines
Tropical Storm "Jangmi", locally known as Seniang, made landfall near the town of San Agustin, Surigao del Sur province of northeastern Mindanao, Philippines early on December 29 (local time) and left a trail of destruction as it moved across the central part of the country.
According to latest reports, heavy flooding and landslides that followed caused deaths of at least 11 people.
Bohol is among the provinces hardest hit by floods, and is now under a state of calamity. Rivers burst their banks, covering roads and highways in knee-deep floods that washed out bridges and stalled vehicles, regional civil defense officer Allen Cabaron said, adding that floods in some areas were "neck-deep.”
